From May 14 to 16, 2025, in the rural communes of Imeritsiatosika, Analavory, and the surrounding areas of Ampefy, the Fifaliana Indray team from the Betesda mobile clinic brought hope and healing to communities in need.

In just three days, 390 patients received free medical care—many of them for the very first time.

Each day began with a short moment of encouragement: a local pastor sharing a message of hope before treatment began. These spiritual moments prepared hearts as much as the medical team prepared bodies.

One of the most moving testimonies came from Madame Marie Odette. Her husband, who recently lost his sight, can no longer provide for their family. Now caring for their five children alone, she brought one of her sons, suffering from a severe scalp infection, to the clinic.

“I simply can’t afford a doctor,” she said. “This is a true blessing for my family.”

Another life forever changed was that of Rasoanirina, an elderly woman who narrowly escaped death. Unaware that she was suffering from dangerously high blood pressure—measured at 245/138—she could have died at any moment. Fortunately, the team was able to diagnose and treat her in time.

“I had no idea I had a problem,” she shared. “Here in Madagascar, even checking your blood pressure is a luxury.”

But as with every mission, there were heartbreaking limitations. Not everyone could be seen. The team simply didn’t have enough medication to meet the overwhelming need.

The Mission Isn’t Over
